Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves Serie A as a legend

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves Inter for Barcelona in the
summer of 2009, it feels like that time in a Hollywood movie where the romance
is cut short, both parties go their separate way, and the director trying to
make you believe that fairytale ending victory t "occur. But this time, it
is true. Swedes love the Serie A is too good.

Ibrahimovic moved to Paris Saint-Germain, not only leave AC
Milan with a dramatic gap in the line before them, but he also put Italian
football, one of the great characters of its real symbolic value, especially
the most successful players in history. He left without end, it probably
deserves, to end a season without first Scudetto in his seven years in the
peninsula, but this should not overshadow what was in real time the great Bel
Paese.

After coming with a great reputation is built around the
spectacular moment of Ajax and Malmö, Zlatan has become a more complete striker
of his time in Italy. It does not matter to him who he was with his heart
still. In his first season with Juventus, he was paired with Alessandro Del
Piero, David Trezeguet and Marcelo Zalayeta in different stages, but he does
business.

After 16 goals in his first campaign, he said only 10 in
2005-06, including three in the Champions League. These statistics are not too
important, however, that Juve has accumulated 91 points to win a Scudetto with
Ibra again a regular feature. But he just started.

At Inter, he has become a talisman true. Season three
brought another Scudetto three, and scored 57 goals in this process. Returning
from injury on the last day 2007-08 was the culmination of his struggle with
the Nerazzurri in Parma, and the title in the hands of Rome, he played for a
tournament to win the double. He continued to revel in the no-nonsense approach
attracted by Jose Mourinho during his last term in blue and black, picking up his
first title of capocannoniere backheel a great effort in the first round 38
Atalanta, the objective of 25 season.

It is by far his efforts only spectacular but, as he became
known for his sensational goal. He scored by flipping the ball with the outside
of his boot with his foot on his marker to move against Adriano Bologna. Then
he will net for Milan to Lecce back half toward the goal, volley past the
goalkeeper from 40 yards with his left foot lower.

It's not a moment of pure happiness, they are shining
examples. A mountain man 1.95m, 95 kg should not be able to provide all the
wonderful touches cleverly projected from a mercurial number 10, but can
Zlatan. He hit the bells too, with Fiorentina is on the wrong end of Ibra
bullets more than once. He has proven over time that he has a bit of
everything.

This backheel against Atalanta was his last act before
moving to Barcelona in a transfer of € 69.5 million, and although it was widely
considered a proper final, obviously not real with Calcio. He returned a year
later, became one of the groups selected to play all three of the giants of
Italian football club. He will also visit the most rare ... someone managed to
all three.

Milan went seven years without Serie A title before Ibra
shook and the guide 18 of the crown of their two seasons back. He pulls them to
victory in crucial moments, scoring 14 goals in 14 different games, with his
strike and draw a single goal victory alone represented a swing of 11 points of
the Rossoneri supporters. It includes an early winner from the penalty spot in
front of the Curva Nord in his first Milan derby in red and black. It has
always been to be decided by Zlatan.

Last season, his list twice, but 28 goals in a losing
campaign. Massimiliano Allegri patched up side can not stop at the end of the
mighty Juve, Ibra and efforts were in vain. His double against Roma in March
was temporarily sent Milan seven points ahead, but then it will add six of the
last nine games, there is a group, then a man. It will not win ninth straight
title in the country, and there will be six Scudetto victory, not seven, but it
was not for lack of trying.

The title of the Rossoneri hope ended in a 4-2 defeat
against Inter, Ibrahimovic mesh with their two goals. It is still a great
player's last game. It can also be moved because the thirst of his career
lasted for Assigned Champions glory unfulfilled at this point, but that does
not mean he never provided blow when it was said mattered.

In a country where many people claim that winning the title
in the country always comes first, Zlatan did with supreme regularity. In seven
seasons, he is a man you can count on to have great voices in the Scudetto
race, then in a world continuously evolves at the top of the Italian game. And
that has made him a legend of Calcio.

Like Maradona, he had a camera follow him around on his
seven years in the peninsula, and as "El Diego", he called to the
attention of every single second of their two than time. It can not have that
great genius imperfect Argentina, it may not be as smart, and he could get
lucky, but it was equally affect a generation of fans Calcio. If you sit down
to compile an all-time Serie XI, he will go into serious consideration at
least.

While Maradona will never be replaced in the hearts of the
Neapolitans, he is in the minds of fans of Milan, Inter and Juventus,
Ibrahimovic is better known. He made enemies everywhere, but he made the goals
and the titles of the first and most important. It was his record is one win
away saw both, and is the driving force that led him away from Calcio for the
last time.

So, ciao e Grazie, Zlatan. Whatever is said about you, and
whoever said that no one can pretend that you have not made your mark on
Italian football.
